"I don't think she's concerned" - Legend believes Mandy Rose doesn't "care" if she works for WWE or not
Wrestling legend Teddy Long feels Mandy Rose is happily building a life away from WWE and isn't craving a return to the promotion anytime soon.
Rose was released from the global juggernaut back on December 14, 2022, a day after losing the NXT Women's Championship to Roxanne Perez. It was revealed that WWE was unhappy with the nature of her FanTime content. Though fans rallied in support of her following the release, Mandy Rose recently stated she was enjoying her time away from wrestling, focusing on other ventures.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long spoke about the 32-year-old's future in the business.
Long thinks Rose wasn't concerned about being away from WWE as she was exploring other opportunities. The wrestling legend added that though Mandy Rose might return down the line, for now, she's happy with where she's in life.
"I think Mandy Rose is as happy as she could be. I don't think she's concerned or cares if she works in WWE or not. She's got her own business there and her FanTime page, which is certainly on fire; a lot of response on that. Mandy, I think she's as happy as she wants to be in life. As she said, she's not quitting wrestling, so who knows man, we may see her somewhere down the line," said Teddy Long. [2:28 - 3:04]
